### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-09-28, version 3.2.6*

As a doctor who does med management for pregnant women, I’m thrilled somone finally committed to recommendations

### 3/5 — 4.99 a month not free

*2025-09-04, version 3.2.6*

Just a PSA it’s 4.99 a month even though it appears free with in app purchases. Funds research.

### 1/5 — No response from Customer Service

*2025-08-28*

I purchased the membership and it has never even allowed me to login. I have emailed the college that runs the app and still no response. Do to lack of any response or assistance I do not recommend this app.

**Developer response:** We are so sorry for this! We have been having trouble with our customer support email system. Please fill out this form and we will reach out to you https://www.infantrisk.com/form/app-support

### 1/5 — Not up to date.

*2025-03-20*

I just paid for this app and definitely wasted my money. Better off going to a search engine. Their database is not up to date and anything you try to scan comes up as unknown. Not sure why it has as many stars as it does.

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry to hear you had this experience. Our goal is to provide accurate, science-based information on medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and we know it can be frustrating when an item isn’t in our database yet. We focus on the most commonly used medications first, and if research doesn’t exist, our university lab works to fill those gaps—but it takes time. The app helps fund that research so we can keep expanding and updating.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-11-01, version 3.2.5*

Any OTC medication that I’ve typed in says unknown risk. Even ones my OB has said that’s safe. Waste of money. Don’t bother with this app.

### 1/5 — No access to account

*2024-10-22*

I bought a subscription and was charged the fee and the app login doesnt recognize me as a having an account. Yet when i try to resubscribe it says o already have an account. And i cant find any email for customer service

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re so sorry you’re running into this issue. Sometimes subscription or login errors happen when the app store and our system don’t sync correctly. Please fill out this support form: https://www.infantrisk.com/form/app-support and our team will get this fixed for you.

We also have a free call center open 8–3 CST at (806) 352-2519, if you’d prefer to talk with someone directly. We’d love to help you get this resolved.

### 1/5 — Unable to access app and paid for subscription

*2024-09-24*

I bought this as I’m pregnant and sick and trying to see what I can safely take. I registered and paid for the subscription just for me to get an error message saying I didn’t put in an email or password which I did as you have to, to register. I got an email saying I subscribed but everytime I go to log in it says there’s no account with my email that exists…. Very confused and disappointed

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re so sorry you’ve had this experience. Please fill out this support form: https://www.infantrisk.com/form/app-support and our team will help get your account working right away.

In the meantime, you can also call our free InfantRisk Center hotline at (806) 352-2519 (open 8–3 CST). It’s staffed by nurses who specialize in lactational pharmacology, and they’ll be glad to walk through your questions with you while we fix the app issue.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2024-08-06, version 3.2.5*

Incredible app to look up medications that are safe for pregnancy and lactation

### 1/5 — Very poor database

*2024-05-07, version 3.2.4*

I tried to search a dozen of medications and they all come back as no data, unknown. Well, that certainly does not help. I think for a paid app the database would be better

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-02-23, version 3.2.4*

Will not even let me sign up…. It just keep loading and never processed the registration.
